I'm new here too, so my opinion isn't professional, but I honestly really like the concept and various test logs. If the effects of the compound were reworked very slightly, I think this could make SCP status easily. You've made efficient use of hidden text and show an extremely impressive knowledge of chemistry. I hope things work out for you, because this seems great to me.

Can you be more specific about what you liked? Just "concept" and "test logs" doesn't give an author a particularly good metric for the strengths of their work or what they should endeavor to keep if someone has a more critical response.

If the effects of the compound were reworked very slightly, I think this could make SCP status easily.

Reworked how? What do you mean by "slightly"? Don't force the author to read your mind here; if you have an idea for a fix, feel free to explain it in more depth.

You've made efficient use of hidden text and show an extremely impressive knowledge of chemistry. I hope things work out for you, because this seems great to me.

Again, what did you like about the hidden text? What about the chemistry was impressive to you? Some reviewers may disagree (e.g., if they feel like the hidden text is excessive, or the chemistry background is too overwhelming for the average reader) so it's good to pinpoint why things are attractive to you writing-wise.

I'm new here too, so my opinion isn't professional,

If you're not totally sure about your feedback, it's totally fine to hold off until an experienced writer has commented first before chiming in. Staff reviewers prioritize threads with no replies, so posting the first critique response can actually make it more difficult for an author to receive more substantial feedback, since you lower the thread's visibility.

I have more to say under the collapsible, but ultimately, thumbs up. It seems pretty clear that you've got some sort of background in chemistry, and for the most part you've done a good job using that knowledge to enhance your story without having it take over. It would definitely get a +1 from me if you posted now, but I think you also have room to improve.

I have some smaller suggestions to make under the collapsible, but right off the bat two I have a two-fold issue with the weaponization of the skip at the end:

First, it comes about pretty suddenly. The first time this subject is even mentioned is during the final collapsible, which makes it feel very sudden. You could solve this by dropping a line about this in the recovery section or even have Dr. K worry about it during one of the tests, which will turn that awkward plot twist into a properly cocked Chekov's Gun.

Secondly, this may be a petty concern, but my SCP Foundation would not do that. It feels out of character for the Foundation to use as a weapon a chemical that may or may not connect to an alien planet. That feels more in character for the Chaos Insurgency or the Serpent's Hand. Not only that, but since it only affects "males", it would only affect some of the intended targets. It doesn't seem like they've sufficiently tested it; for all they know, employing the chemical as a weapon could open a portal to this alien planet full of of hostile entities.

I can't speak to the correctness of this, but as a reader, I can say that long and extremely complex string of scientific jargon is a tremendous turn-off, especially so early. When I read a skip, I tend to start with the first sentence of the description, and this one almost had me stop reading right there. I'm glad I didn't because I genuinely like the rest of the article and what it's saying

The test logs are well-done. I was wary when you decided to have the fifth test subject be transgender, but I think you handled it well. It felt natural and scientific instead of exploitative, and worked to characterize the relationship

You have inconsistent spacing in the audiologs. They'e a little hard to read this way. I think they would be much stronger if you put a line break in between each line of dialog

bring me .5mg of benzodiazepine

Props for knowing (or researching or googling or whatever) the name of an actual sedative. As I mentioned above, adds to the realism.

Closing Statement: [Subject was found with six lacerations on the posterior side of his trunk.]

Emphasis mine. Once I googled this, it turns out that it is perfectly good scientific jargon, so I won't tell you to cut it. What I will tell you is that the use of the word 'trunk' made me picture an elephant in an orange jumpsuit. I don't know if there was a scientific reason for picking this muscle, but consider changing it to something without the elephantine connotations.

Dr. K██████: [Muffled] But murder seems to be fine.

If you were going for making this guy a tool, well done. He reminds me of Vanessa Graff, and I hate him.

Assistant: So you're suggesting SCP-XXXX doesn't affect women?

As one of three characters who isn't a D-class, it feels very odd that the assistant doesn't have a name and the doctor and commander do. In this case, I think literally anything would be better than nothing.

Having the third and final interview expunged will likely draw unfavorable comparisons to SCP-087. I don't particularly have a problem with it, as I infer that it was expunged by Dr. K to protect Assistant No-Name, but its something to be aware of.

By the way, is D-7984 from Test-E supposed to be the same Assistant who volunteered himself in the audio log for Test-B? Dr. K's comment about being demoted to D-Class in the final collapsible leads me to that they are. Whether or not that was the intention, it could use some additional clarification.

First off I wanted to thank you for your feedback on my draft, this has been the most in-depth review that I have received. So after pointing out the flaws and weaknesses in my draft I made some much needed adjustments.

In case you don't want to read through it a second time (which I wouldn't blame you if you didn't haha) here is a summary of what I changed:

Added a name for the assistant
Changed the designation number of the assistant once they become D class (also gave in text info to help connect this)
Placed the IUPAC name as a footnote to improve the flow of the description
mentioned weaponization in the background and in dialogue
replaced trunk with an anatomical synonym (an Elephant in a jumpsuit needs to be a skip of its own lol)
I agree that this take on the foundation might make them look more on the evil side than being cold, but I've hinted at some conflict, and if things go well I'll build upon that in future tales/SCPs (Bardon and Dr. K will make some future appearances haha)

Also, I would like to get the formatting down for the interview logs, but I'm currently having a lot of difficulty with spacing inside the quotes, so if anyone knows how to do that I would greatly appreciate it!

I took a quick peek back, and from what I saw the changes substantially helped the piece's readability. There are still some grammatical errors, but nothing a quick run through a spelling/grammar checker won't fix. For example:

Dr. K: Colleague will do just fine, Is there a point you're trying to make here?

I would probably put colleague in quotations to indicate Dr. K is using someone else's word, but that might be a preference thing. That comma should be a period though.

Dr. K: "Colleague" will do just fine. Is there a point you're trying to make here?

Changed the designation number of the assistant once they become D class (also gave in text info to help connect this)

I hate to waffle, but after looking it over again, it looks odd for the Foundation to call out a D-class by name. The revelation might have more emotional impact if we're not expecting it. I'm of two minds. Use your discretion for which avenue you'd rather take. You might be able to get the best of both worlds by having Dr. K say something when Bardon confronts him, which would create a three-step execution: tease the idea in the test logs, guide the reader to the conclusion when Adley volunteers, and confirm their suspicions with a line from Dr. K in the final interview.

I think part of it is caused by the awkward cadence of the sentence more than any sort of implication on your part. "Am I demoted?" and "Am I to be a D-class guinea pig?" both sound very strange when I say them out loud. It might sound more natural if couched like "Am I being demoted to D-class too?", which would also serve to reinforce the connection without outright saying it.

replaced trunk with an anatomical synonym (an Elephant in a jumpsuit needs to be a skip of its own lol)

"Thorax" has a similar problem (I imagine most are familiar with it in relation to bugs) but still evokes the same part of the body on a human. I imagine you could just say "abdomen" and convey the same idea, but it's up to you.

I agree that this take on the foundation might make them look more on the evil side

It's not that big of an issue in the long run. Just because it isn't my Foundation doesn't mean it can't be canon here. I think you've successfully justified your bullshit both in and out of the text. If it does get built on by other tales, more's the better. If not, I'm sure not everyone at the Foundation agrees, and that doesn't take into account infiltration by something like the GOC. There's room to interpret him as a mole, and if it gets the readers discussing, more power to you.

As for the spacing issue, you seem to have the coding down for the most part. What threw me off was that the spacing is just inconsistent. The first test log has an extra line only after the D-class speaks, the second only has a single extra line, and the final collapsible has two in seemingly arbitrary places. While I suggest you have them double-spaced, both for the sake of consistency and ease of reading, you should at least keep them consistent from note-to-note. I included some examples under these collapsibles to help clarify:

Bardon: Well Doctor, you know how these things go don't you?Dr. K██████: Am I demoted? What, am I to be a D-Class guinea pig now?Bardon: Really? From the death of a mere laboratory aid? No. No we have plenty of personnel qualified to wash flasks and petri dishes.

Bardon: Really? From the death of a mere laboratory aid? No. No we have plenty of personnel qualified to wash flasks and petri dishes.

The double spacing is a lot easier on the eyes in my opinion but it's up to you. Looking back, I now remember the revelation I had when I realized that all the greater-than signs needed a space after them, or else wikidot wouldn't read the code. That might be the issue.
